Haircut 03:54
lyrics
She comes over at eight with guess who in her arms, maybe later on if we’re lucky we can watch pinocchio. Now my parents are gone, we can’t work the VCR, well at least it’s bright outside we can still have some fun. FUN! Bed by ten, can’t keep my eyes open, as you sketch in your pad a picture of the kids that you babysit. Now she’s downstairs, the T.V’s on and the lights are off, but I lay awake dreaming about your charcoal fingertips. This is what I’m trying to make you, this is how I’m trying to feel. Well aren’t I lucky that you’re no thinker, how else would I have you hook, line and sinker nice try. This is why I’m trying to be good and when you come around to tomorrow my hair will be cut. These days it seems you’re nowhere near, even though I can hear your piano through my walls, I’d like to think that we’re still friends. Take care of me.

Deep Blue 03:22
lyrics
You are my anchor, that’s why I drew one on your arm, with bright red ink I think there is a chance that this could stick no matter what. No matter how deep the water goes, no matter how strong the current, let the tide take me out to sea but don’t let deep blue get me, because we are fragile, at least that’s what it says on the side, in bright red ink I think that we should ask, why should that read this way up? Come on honey, we got to get our clothes off, shut the door now we want to stay too warm. Just keep me in sight of the shore. I’ll try not to struggle.

Runamuk 05:37
lyrics
Late last night as we lay beneath the carpet and sang through the indifference, something in the words sounded like “I can’t”, and as we slept for endless minutes and rejoiced in our arrogance, all the wine we drank came pouring through my hands. If you don’t let me in, then I won’t knock again, these days growing thin. I’d rather be among the humble then be alone with you in my bed, fall on my face to stumble, I’d rather see you fall instead. This place is open twenty four hours, but I can’t find you anywhere. My throat is fucked and my liver is a killer on fire. I can still see the wall where I have sat impatient and it still looks hard and cold. If that is what you say then I call you a liar. You’re a liar.

Best Served Chilled 02:55
lyrics
We peel away our clothes, from our flesh the juices flows and stings my lips you know I can’t believe that in your eyes I’m not a maudlin afterthought, but that makes one of us to say the least. Do you feel that way too? Will I see you soon? Or is it safe to say that we are . . . please don’t say you’re sorry because I might break, please don’t say forgive me because I might break. You’re my home and that’s what you mean to me, tell me baby, what you mean to me, as we lay in bed and laugh in quarters, thirds and halves. As we lay in bed and we laugh, because we never feel so whole, it’s like bubblegum for the soul, dried up and stuck between my teeth, and you know I’m not the sort, the one to sell you short, but lately you’ve left me dead on my feet.

Laurels 05:18
lyrics
No time to rest on our laurels, the summer’s routine has begun. It’s not just that the binding’s creased, I could forget it all but I won’t let you let me, because another shore has dried up but I can smell sea in the air, and your ship has sailed with nets in tow, some better things are left unsaid. Never weaken, always seeking. Never weaken your grip or you’ll lose me, always seeking the lips that will soothe me. Some better things are left with hardy words in burlap sacks for another day you said but I can’t break down this seven year tenth without you around.
